Vans Warped Tour and TOMS

as the title reads, i went to Warped. i am ashamed to admit that this is my first time. but i am proud to say that i LOVED it. 

we left Pelion, SC at 5am; Warped didn't start until 11:30am. we get to Warped (in Charlotte, NC) around 7am. people are ahead of us already. dedication? before i walked into the picture with Jason, he attended Warped every year with his friend Kenny. Kenny is a character by himself and i've never attended an event with him.

Jason and Myself

 When we are finally let in at 11am, Kenny's ticket didn't scan so we had to wait on him. i saw a very interesting sign that read, "Don't Be Caught Looking At TITTIES! Sunglasses: $5". it definitely set the day off on the right foot. we went to the Monster trailer and i finally drank a full one, we later went and i drank another. 
went to some great booths...

we saw a shit ton of bands and out of them all, We Came As Romans was my favorite. the energy: i love it! a mosh pit formed and Jason tried to guard me from getting hit and a guy was punched in the face, resulting in a broken nose. another man was smoking weed and puked later. oh, and someone grabbed my ass in passing and Jason's warning to any future inconsiderate prick was written on my back in green saying "Jason Owns!" 
i wanted A Day To Remember's signature and the line consisted of seventy people. i was around number forty. they signed the first twenty and left, with their own body guards. they didn't have a show for another two hours and the next band using the signing booth wasn't coming for another thirty minutes. Jason and i discuss their arrogance all the time, but after this, i lost all respect for them. it was a utter slap to the face. i am disappointed as a person and as a fan. 
on another note, i was completely dehydrated. 
and another note, I Set My Friends On Fire's stage presence was AMAZING.
so glad i went and i will be going for years to come!
